Being a charter member of the LSGNA Collaboration, I just can't pass this one up! The Americas Summit (34 nations, including the US) is convening this weekend in Mar del Plata, Argentina. And the security force has been waylaid by a rabid lasagna....70 members, and counting, of the armed security team are down. What a great tactic! I am surprsied more people throughout history have not thought of mass quantities of lasagna as a weapon of mass destruction. The hotel serving the questionable lasagna used to be a favorite dining haunt for the local police squad. Wanna bet they're busy right now checking the local guide for other places? Who knows, perhaps "W" will have a hankering for Argentinian lasagna and follow in his father's footsteps. PS: LSGNA = Large Super Giant New Accelerator. The collaboration formed in 1992. It meets sporadically, and ingests its favorite food along with large quantities of wine. We have our own theme song and enjoy pink flamingoes. Correction: A collaboration member has reminded me that my memory is failing....the LSGNA collaboration formed in June 1993, not 1992. Being a major lifetime event, you would think I'd remember it correctly.
